What I'm Watching: ¡MAYDAY! - "Shortcuts & Dead Ends"

"I'm treading water in the deep end / I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons / Embrace my flaws and all my defects / and my shortcuts and dead ends."

¡MAYDAY! is one of my favorite bands out now. Their music is extremely incredible. The lyrical content, storylines, production, pretty much everything that goes into their album is a work of art. Hit play, turn the volume up, and engulf yourself in this dope video.

What I'm Watching: Boog Brown - "Windows Open"

Boog Brown is so dope. Her style, flow, music exudes a chill that gets my head nodding, eyes closed in some zoned out mode. Very talented emcee, Boog, releases the visuals to a single off her upcoming "The Late Bloom".

What I'm Watching: Marco Polo - “3-O-Clock” ft. Organized Konfusion

Yooooooo. Organized Konfusion. Shoutout to Marco Polo for this. I approve the hell out of this collaboration. I shouldn't be surprised. Marco Polo does not disappoint. Have your radios ready October 12th.

The lead-single from Marco Polo's forthcoming LP, PA2: The Director's Cut, accomplishes what no one else has been able to pull off in over a decade--reunite Organized Konfusion. Since the duo disbanded in 1997, there has been no new OK material and every few years or so the usual "reunion rumors" emerge and then disappear.

Marco Polo's forthcoming LP, "PA2: The Director's Cut" will be released on 11-12-2013 via Soulspazm Records, with exclusive vinyl courtesy of Slice of Spice. The album features appearances from Talib Kweli, DJ Premier, Posdnuos, Masta Ace, Kardinal Offishall, Styles P, Lil Fame, Alchemist, Oh No, MC Eiht, King Tee, Michael Rapport, Large Professor, Inspectah Deck, Rah Digga, Slaine, Ill Bill, Organized Konfusion, Doppelgangaz & many more.

MacGuyver - "The Come Up" ft. Born I Music (prod. By Grussle)

MacGuyver drops his new single for ImMaculate and features another ill emcee in Born I. Assisted with the dope, dope production of Grussle, these two emcees go off ensuring that my repeat button gets worn out. If this track is any indication to what "ImMaculate" is going to be, sign me up right now. Check it.

DMV Rapper/Singer MacGuyver approaches the fall season with a haunting, powerful new record "The Come Up", featuring G&D label mate Born I Music. Produced by Grussle of Inner Loop Music Group, "The Come Up" finds MacGuyver waxing poetic on the mixture of blood sweat and strategy needed for success in an ever hostile, ever crowded hip hop environment, as well as on the streets of his home, the DMV. Born I Music rounds the record out with his reflection of the costs of being a boss in the modern era, and the inner turmoil that comes with high-end hustling. With hard drums and keys that will loop in your head over and over courtesy of top notch production from Inner Loop's Grussle, "The Come Up" harkens the coming of cold weather, timberland boots and hoodies, as MacGuyver provides the perfect hustler's anthem, which also happens to double as the lead single for his upcoming album "ImMaculate"
